Kitamura MedCenter5AX

The MedCenter5AX is a compact vertical machining center that performs simultaneous 5-axis machining of small to medium multi-sided parts. It uses an HSK-E40 integral drive spindle running from 300 to 30,000 rpm and a 40-position fixed-pot automatic tool changer, with an optional 120-tool changer and optional pallet systems. Linear travels are 254 mm (X), 330 mm (Y) and 330 mm (Z), and the machine is controlled by the Arumatik-Mi CNC.
